The chief judge in DC's federal court questioned the Justice Department's decision to offer misdemeanor plea deals to nonviolent US Capitol rioters, saying at a hearing Thursday that the relatively light punishment might not be enough to deter similar attacks in the future.
"Does the government have any concern ... of the defendant joining a mob, breaking into the Capitol building" in the future, and "terrorizing members of Congress, the vice president, who had to be evacuated," Chief Judge Beryl Howell asked prosecutors during the plea hearing.
President Trump had to be evacuated... BLM and Antifa were the only terrorists... When is THEIR kangaroo court going to begin??? I'm getting real tired of this... REAL tired.

Kinda reminds me of the line in Mel Brooks' History of the World Part I, when Count deMonet (Count de Money, played by Harvey Korman) said to King Louis (played by Mel Brooks), "Sire, the peasants are revolting." Mel's answer "Tell me about it, they stink on ice."
Which is about the attitude of the DC deep state towards their what they want to be loyal subjects under their benevolent rule.
Vive la résistance!

How can we stop nonviolent people from overthrowing the government? Perhaps we need to suspend freedom until the “all clear.”
I’m a judge and I’m worried that Trump is planning a comeback. Is that code for a military coup? I have to be very very thought in my plans to totally crush these defendants.

Judge says punishment for Jan. 6 rioters is too lenient How about the same punishment as Seattle BLM rioters...a slap on the wrist and make them promise to never do it again?
Ouch...That's going to leave a mark.

An honest Prosecutor would have responded, "No, your Honor. We are not concerned in the slightest. If we were not being pressured, we would not have charged 95% of these defendants. Also, none should have been incarcerated."

She was a federal judge supervising the grand jury for Robert Mueller's probe into Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections.
Does that mean she questioned the 2016 election??????

The judge is too stupid to know or realize that if the defendants go to trial. The evidence will prove they were innocent of ALL charges and incarcerated wrongly opening up the gov't to lawsuits for violation of their civil rights.

"Howell was nominated by President Barack Obama on July 14, 2010, to a seat on the United States District Court for the District of Columbia vacated by Judge Paul Friedman."
That's all you need to know.

"The charge is a "petty offense," Howell said, comparing it to the same charge someone might face if they trespassed on government property after dark."
Yet THIS was in the bright light of Day, at "The Peoples House". The constitutionally designated location for the "People" to assemble and petition for redress of Grievance. Hence, every indication that it is "Overcharging" for the offense.
"Does the government have any concern ... of the defendant joining a mob, breaking into the Capitol building" in the future, and "terrorizing members of Congress, the vice president, who had to be evacuated,"
No, Zero, None...it had never happened before, so no indication that it would be likely to happen again.
What is THIS judges commentary about the Code Pink "protests" that regularly occurred in Both Houses, the White House...often with the SAME instigators...over and over. With no penalties and "guest passes" continuing to be issued by congress members to foster it?

Where is this Judges commentary of the hundreds that rioted in DC last May/June, where the VA building was trashed, burned, hundreds of cops injured, dozens killed, churches burned, hundreds of stores/businesses looted, dozens of police vehicles destroyed, even more civilian vehicles destroyed? The Whitehouse locked down, Trump hurried to the Bunker, Senate, House, Supreme court all closed, nearly all Govt offices closed, roads highways, transit systems shut down..... Has their been "Undercharging" in her courts for those?

Nothing like impartial justice. Most of these people should be released immediately without charges. Their crime--entering the Capitol at the encouragement of Capitol Police. Entering a place with the consent of those with apparent authority to authorize entrance should not be a crime.

How about all the Antifa pukes that have been trying to burn down Federal courthouses, tear down monuments, etc. that were let off with NO prosecution at all? Think that might encourage more of the same?
Idiot.

This biased democrat judge must recuse herself from any trial involving defendants of the 1/6 event. It is obvious that she cannot rule on anything involving them justly an fairly.

The Judge is concerned light sentences will lead to further instances like this. So funny because when others are released for felonies, peaceful protests, assault, looting, arson the left is not concerned that this might lead to more of the same, rediculous!
